Well, we never saw this coming. Persona 5 S is actually a musou-style game. In other words, it's like Dynasty Warriors, and it's called Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. No release date or release window has been given.

What do you make of this? Slice up some shadows in the comments section below.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

Oh...oh....oh....thats hilarious. Switch owners will be throwing serious shade at Atlus for that one - even though Atlus never said it was coming to switch (for what its worth a portable version of p5 would be awesome, and i would have had no issue with it).

As for this. Ueah, i will probably buy it. Not played a bad persona spin off yet. I am not usually into musou style games, although i own dragon quest heroes and have been tempted by fate/extella. Maybe this is the game to get me into them!

I’ve really enjoyed all of the licensed Warriors games I’ve played (Hyrule, One Piece, and Fire Emblem) and I like Persona far more than any of those series. I hope this is peak Warriors and not DW9-tier.

I think people were betting their life savings on the fact the S stood for Switch. Is pretty obvious by now the main series is for Sony, the Q series is for Nintendo and the spinoffs are usually multiplat.

Yikes, sure N Life is in full meltdown mode right now. I do enjoy a few of the musou games but have no connections to the Persona world so will probably skip this. Glad some are excited though, sure there's going to be a lot of crying from those who expected P5 on switch m

I'm glad it's not for Switch. The port begging has become unbearable and this would have just led to another level of entitlement. Usually, I'm all for games being available in as many forms as possible, but the Switch fan base has become very obnoxious with their "All games can be on Switch if the developers weren't lazy."

@3Above Yeah, the sense of entitlement is unreal over there. They forget that the Shin megami tensei series is exclusive to Nintendo too.

The community seems much more level headed here. Its not like Atlus announced it and took it away (and it might still come in time). The also say how come they got joker in smash and he is the first character never to appear on a Nintendo console. Forgetting that joker was in Persona Q2 on 3ds..

@Rob_230 yea I'm not sure we live in the same world as they do. Its alot more irrational over there. I will never understand the mentality of ignoring a game you really want and that is already available to wait for port to an inferior system. If you have the option to play it elsewhere then play it! 🤦🏽‍♂️

And of course, half the section is discussing NL userbase rather than the game announced. 😏 Hate to break it, but not everyone's butthurt (and not everyone's expectations of an eventual Switch version were ever based on abbreviation teasers or Smash DLCs to begin with😉). Speaking of Switch versions, though, "P5S" really is coming to Switch, is it not?😆

@3Above if I had a dollar for every person wondering about this, I might have enough money to quit a day job and actually play home consoles properly. The way things are, what part of "Remote Play limitations and mobile data streaming costs" is hard to understand, exactly?

I wasn’t expecting this. I will probably get it day one for being a Persona 5 fanboy though. Now some hype is creeping in. I haven’t gotten a good Warriors game since SW4 anyway though, and that was an excellent game.

@3Above since free public Wi-Fi isn't exactly a worldwide commodity, mobile internet tethered through the phone hotspot tends to carry the bulk of Remote Play's usage weight on the go. After all, you're basically using a PSN-aided stream akin to PS Now or upcoming Stadia, except the source is your own PS4 at home. Hence the mobile data costs - which can fall in the range of 1-1.5 Gb/hour as per my experience.

@Ralizah That persona tread on nintendolife is Kinda depressing i only read half of it how long were you going back and forth on there before someone gave up. also kinda strange that we got a persona warriors game before a Final Fantasy one.

I like how half the comment section is trashing entitled NintendoLife users for something they do on their Nintendo specific site like it actually affects them personally. Way to be gracious winners guys.

Out of curiosity, why is anyone happy that persona isnt coming to switch. Personally i dont own a switch or persona, but just seems a little bit lame to me. Sorry maybe im just tired and grouchy but really.

@dddooozzz9 i believe u missed my point. Poking fun because a game isnt coming to a game system is just lame. I was in a bad mood when i posted that but now im not. So its all good. Also i have no clue about the game u just mentioned so im probably wrong. Good times.

@dddooozzz9 yet SMT V we have LITERALLY no info on anyway sooooooo shrug? Besides I’d have a hunch even if it was also on PlayStation it wouldn’t do P5 numbers... sooooooo in a sense anyway Nintendo got the short end of the stick there...

@Rob_230 Yet we are talking the very System Nintendo Fans well... have a Wanted Sign for 💀 not Alive for like 1,000,000 of your currency of choice since it’s super dated & games that people want come to that system... instead of the Switch (Which tech wise is also dated & will remain dated ((cus Nintendo can make 10 revisions & Switch won’t match up to the powers that modern day high end PCs have or even the highest of end of Systems)) for years upon years)
